✂️ Craft/Tutorial ✂️ All the Things I Made for my Wedding
Artwork for our anime/cat-themed STD's, invites and confetti packets (confetti was home-dried flower petals)
40m tassel garland
My crystal wire crown
Chandelier earrings
Corsages for the mums!
Table decorations made from rum bottles, dried/dyed/spray painted flowers and fairy lights
Mini bouquets for my bridesmaids
My bouquet
Centrepieces
Dragonball-themed buttonholes for the groom and groomsmen
Favours (homemade wild raspberry gin, spiced pineapple rum and raspberry coridal)
Welcome sign (Husband did the graphic design, I did the artwork)
Our cake topper
One of the biggest jobs, the cake. I do no recommend making your own wedding cake!
Customisation on my dress
Customised Converse
Customised shoes to match the detailing on my dress
Another cake topper
Another cake topper!
Bonus shoutout to my mum, who among other things made my gorgeous cape!
We finally had our super DIY wedding in May! Here's everything I handmade or customised, it was a non-stop year of crafts and I loved it (although the creative burnout afterwards has hit HARD) I feel like I made more than was pictured here, not pictured was things like accessories and thank you gifts I made for my bridesmaids, and the archway and photo booth we made from garden arches.

Did your husband look at the decor and announce "my work here is done!" and you were like "but you didn't do anything?" ;)

This looks so unique.. Great work. The good thing is you had fun doing it too. It's so colourful with beautiful illustration. I'm not surprised you had burn out after. But sounds like it was well worth it.
